Best Answer

When light is turned off, you measure 120V at point B and 240V at point C. Since your reference point is A, then A to C is 240V and A to B is 120V. This iteration confirms point B ("120 volts on the live") is probably your neutral, and you are wired incorrectly.

In the normal atom do the electrical charges of the proton balance the electrical charges of the neutron?

Not exactly. Though it IS true that in a normal atom, the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of neutrons, to make the atom electrically neutral (non-ionic), the number of protons (positively charged particles) must equal the number of electrons (negatively charged particles) that surround the nucleus.


Why are you getting 120 volts from hot wire and grounded rod?

On a North American electrical distribution system this is quite normal and natural. The neutral connection point in a distribution panel is connected to the ground rod via the ground wire. So in effect the ground rod and the neutral are one in the same.
